    Title: Customer Satisfaction Surveys.
    OMB No: 2115-0558.
    Abstract: The Federal Transit Act directs the Federal Transit 
Administration (FTA) to issue a rule requiring States to oversee the 
safety of rail fixed guideway systems not regulated by the Federal 
Railroad Administration (FRA). Section 5330 of the Act, requires each 
State that receives funds under USC 5307 (formerly section 9 of the 
Federal Transit Act, as amended) for the operation of a rail fixed 
guideway system to designate a State oversight agency to require and 
monitor the implementation of a System Safety Program Plan (SSPP) at 
each rail fixed guideway system that addresses both safety and security 
measures.
    Need for Information: Collection of information for this program is 
necessary to ensure that State oversight agencies can perform their 
designated safety functions. FTA must receive both an annual report and 
an annual certification for each State oversight agency verifying 
compliance with Section 5330.
    Proposed Use of Information: This information will be used by FTA 
in exercising its authority to withhold Federal funding to a State or 
an urbanized area in the State.
    Burden Statement: The current total annual respondent burden 
estimate is 39,036 hours, a decrease of 14,758 hours from the burden 
reported on previous submission.
